Subtitled: > A new book marvels at the strangeness of plants—and tries a little too hard to explain how they’re like people. If you're ever at risk of thinking that plants are like people, you can cure it by reading about alternation of generation in bryophytes. If bryophytes were like humans it would be like if our (haploid) sperm/eggs went out and got a job and an apartment and a social life and only bothered spin up a (diploid) human for sexy times. Plants are bizarre.
